Quarry

A quarry is a place from which dimension stone, rock, construction aggregate, riprap, sand, gravel, or slate has been excavated from the ground. A quarry is the same thing as an open-pit mine from which minerals are extracted. The only trivial difference between the two is that open-pit mines that produce building materials and dimension stone are commonly referred to as quarries.

The word quarry can also include the underground quarrying for stone, such as Bath stone.

Types of rock

Types of rock extracted from quarries include:

  • Chalk
  • China clay
  • Cinder
  • Clay
  • Coal
  • Construction aggregate (sand and gravel)
  • Coquina
  • Diabase
  • Gabbro
  • Granite
  • Gritstone
  • Gypsum
  • Limestone
  • Marble
  • Ores
  • Phosphate rock
  • Sandstone
  • Slate
  • Slabs

    Many quarry stones such as marble, granite, limestone, and sandstone are cut into larger slabs and removed from the quarry. The surfaces are polished and finished with varying degrees of sheen or luster. Polished slabs are often cut into tiles or countertops and installed in many kinds of residential and commercial properties. Natural stone quarried from the earth is often considered a luxury and tends to be a highly durable surface, thus highly desirable.

    Maggots

    by: GWAR

    Vile forms of Necros lie rotting my mind
    Feasting like maggots - maggots in flesh
    So left your ruined cortex behind
    Now the maggot knows glee as it nibbles on your spine!
    [Chorus:]
    Maggots! Maggots!
    Maggots are falling like rain!
    Putrid pus-pools vomit blubonic plague
    The bowels of the beast reek of puke
    How to describe such vileness on the page
    World maggot waits for the end of the age!
    [Chorus]
    Beneath a sky of maggots I walked
    Until those maggots began to fall
    I gaped at God to receive my gift
    Bathed in maggots till the planet shit
    [Repeat chorus a lot]
